This sterling silver cigarette case is inscribed on the front with the following: "Amateur Championship Pacific Coast 1913-14", in addition there are crossed sticks with the initial "F" engraved on a raised puck below the banner. This cigarette case was obtained from an antiques dealer in Victoria, B.C. He found it in a clothing store being used as a prop with a suit display! The inside is inscribed with the
Name: A. Harris Jeffered.
Unfortunately, I do not know if this was awarded to a player on the Pacific Coast Hockey Championship team or simply one of the competing teams. The only reference I can find for an A. Jeffered is Art Jeffered who was one of the founders of the Vancouver Minor Hockey Association in 1939 and would later be awarded the "Gold Puck Award" for outstanding contribution to amateur hockey in the Lower Mainland and was a Life Member of the PCAHA for distinguished
service.

(If anybody
can help me determine who this may have belonged to or what it was awarded for, I would like to hear from them)

Morris Rogoway, Portland Buckaroos Leading Scorer Trophy

This trophy was awarded
annually by the Portland Buckaroo Hockey Club, to the teams leading scorer. The trophy was sponsored by Morris Rogoway who was a prominent jeweler and a large advertiser in the Buckaroo Hockey programs. The
trophy was presented to the Portland Buckaroos Leading Goal-Scorer from 1960 until 1973. Each player was presented with a smaller trophy and a diamond studded Longines watch that had a black velvet band. Art Jones won this trophy so often that when the Western Hockey League folded the front office gave this trophy to Art for keep sake.
Below are the names of the players and the year they won the award, as engraved on the plaque on the bottom of the trophy.

This trophy is the Western
Hockey Leagues Fred J. Hume Trophy, which was presented to Gordon
Fashoway for the 1960-61 season. In 1960-61, the first season the
Portland Buckaroos existed, Gordon Fashoway was their captain and
was also the leading goal scorer on the Buckaroo team. During the
season "Fash", as his team mates called him, provided the
leadership, grit and goal scoring they needed in order to win the
championship. Fashoway scored 42 goals while only spending eight
minutes in the penalty box. This ability to score goals and
provide leadership while racking up very few penalty minutes is
what earned him the Fred J. Hume trophy.

The Fred J. Hume trophy was awarded to the Western Hockey
Leagues most "gentlemanly" player. The trophy is named after Fred
J Hume who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder
in 1962. His love of sports led him to help found the Western
Hockey League as owner of the New Westminster Royals hockey club.
He operated the team for nine years with Ken MacKenzie but never
won a championship. Hume finally sold his players to Portland and
folded his franchise when mounting costs made pro hockey in a
smaller community like New Westminster an unrealistic venture.
Hume always believed that the Vancouver area could support large
scale sporting events. His involvement and lobbying grew when he
gained a stronger voice as Vancouver mayor in 1950. Undeterred by
the difficulties facing the New Westminster hockey club, Hume
brought the British Empire games Vancouver in 1954 and helped
land a minor pro baseball franchise in 1955. Hume's drive and
leadership won him a host of admirers throughout the West Coast.
The WHL honored his contribution by naming a trophy after him to
presented annually to the league's most gentlemanly player. He
was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in the Builders
category in 1962.

1000th WHL Point Trophy, With Game Used Puck, Presented To Norm Johnson

This trophy was presented
to Norm Johnson for scoring his 1000th point in the Western
Hockey League on Nov. 7, 1970 against Salt Lake City. At the time
Norm scored his 1000th point in the Western Hockey League only
two other players in the WHL had established that milestone,
namely Art Jones and Guyle Fielder. In addition, this was a huge
accomplishment since only seven players in all of
professional hockey including the NHL and all other Minor Pro
Leagues had scored 1000 points. The puck mounted on top is the
actual game used puck that Norm assisted on to get his 1000th
point in the WHL. The puck itself is inscribed in ink on the back with "Norm Johnson 1000th WHL".

1964 Western Hockey League Rookie of the Year Trophy
presented to Dave "The Snake" Kelly

This trophy was presented
to Dave Kelly of the Portland Buckaroos for being the WHL Rookie
Of The Year for the 1963-64 season. During his rookie year Dave
established the all-time WHL Shutout Record of 235 minutes and 22
seconds while posting the second lowest Goals Against Average of
3.10 in the League. What is even more impressive is the fact that
Dave did all this as a 20-year old. That may not seem young by
today's standards, however in 1964, Dave was the youngest goalie
in professional hockey. In addition, this was his first year with
the Buckaroos and he came straight from Junior "A" hockey to the
Western Hockey League.

If you would like to read more about Dave kelly and his time in
the WHL (and with the Portland Buckaroos), then please take a
look at his biography

This trophy was presented
to Dave Kelly of the Portland Buckaroos for recording the
All-Time WHL Shutout Record of 235 minutes and 22 seconds in
1964.
The streak started on March 8, 1964 against the Totems at home in
a game which the Buckaroos won by a score of 5-0. After the game
Dave (who was starting to get a reputation for making
predictions) said: "I haven't predicted a thing for two days. I
just wanted to get a shutout here. I'd like to get the next one
in Seattle because of the fans, unless I can get another one here
first". His next shutout was on March 11 against the Seals and he
said "I'm not saying anything. Everything is going well." He had
22 saves in the game - juggling souvenir pucks. On March 14, Dave
lead the Bucks to a 3-0 victory over the LA Blades in which he
made 19 saves in front 10,548 fans (largest WHL crowd of the
year). Then on March 15 against the Vancouver Canucks he took the
streak all the way to 11:38 of the final period before being beat
by a tipin by the veteran, George Ford. The Buckaroos won the
game 4-1 and Dave received a standing ovation from the crowd.

Dave shared with me during our visit that the shutout steak
was the most memorable moment of his playing career. He said
that the excitement and the adrenaline rush during the streak was
so intense and then to receive a standing ovation from the crowd,
that truly made it special. He also mentioned that his team mates
were nervous and that none of them wanted to be on the ice when
the streak ended. As a matter of fact, Dave thought his team
mates probably played twice as hard during the streak since none
of them wanted to be the one that screwed up and cost Dave the
streak.

Portland Buckaroos Most Popular Player Trophy presented
to Dave "The Snake" Kelly, March 15, 1964

This trophy was presented
to Dave Kelly of the Portland Buckaroos for being the Most
Popular player on the Portland Buckaroo Team for the 1963-64
season. THis trophy is the smaller individual version given to
each player personally, as opposed to the larger team version
which you can also view on this page (see below).

Dave's accomplishments during the 1963-64 season were simply
amazing considering the fact that he was a 20-year old rookie!
During the 1963-64 season Dave established the All-Time WHL
Shutout Record of 235 Minutes 22 Seconds, while posting a Goals
Against Average of 3.10 in 54 games. However, it was not just his
playing ability that earned him this trophy, it was also his
charm and wit that endeared him to the fans in Portland. Dave
would play with several other teams during his 11 years in the
Western Hockey League, however whenever he returned to the
Buckaroos as a player, he could always count on a warm welcome
from the fans.

Game Used Puck from the 1st goal scored in Memorial
Coliseum History, November 15, 1960

This game used puck trophy
was presented to Arnie Schmautz of the Portland Buckaroos for
scoring the 1st goal in Memorial Coliseum history, on November
15, 1960. On that night the Portland Buckaroos had their home
opener at the Memorial Coliseum in front of a sold-out crowd. Up
until that point the Buckaroos had been unable to play at home
due to construction of the Memorial Coliseum running behind. This
resulted in the Bucks having to play the first eight games of the
season on the road. So, they finally returned home to Portland on
November 15th for their home opener at Memorial Coliseum. They
played the Spokane Comets that night and Arnie scored the 1st
goal of the game at 15:29 of the 1st period. The Buckaroos, in
recognition of this accomplishment had the puck made into this
trophy which they then presented to Arnie several nights
later.
I visited with Arnie on October 28th 2005 and at the end of our
visit Arnie entrusted this trophy to me so that I could share it
with fans of the Portland Buckaroos and Old Western Hockey
League. This trophy represents an important time line in the
history of the Portland Buckaroos and Memorial Coliseum.
